Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 30 green cardamom pods, seeds taken from; 15 whole cloves; 5 black cardamom pods (optional); 4 cinnamon sticks; 5 tablespoons black cumin seeds or 5 tablespoons normal cumin seeds; 2 tablespoons coriander seeds; 1 tablespoon fennel seed; 2 teaspoons black peppercorns; 1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds; 1/2 whole nutmeg, broken into small pieces

Servings: persons

30 green cardamom pods, seeds taken from
15 whole cloves
5 black cardamom pods (optional)
4 cinnamon sticks
5 tablespoons black cumin seeds or 5 tablespoons normal cumin seeds
2 tablespoons coriander seeds
1 tablespoon fennel seed
2 teaspoons black peppercorns
1/2 teaspoon fenugreek seeds
1/2 whole nutmeg, broken into small pieces

1
Bash the nutmeg in a plastic bag with a rolling pin to break it into several smaller pieces!
2
Remove the seeds from the Cardamom pods - again, a gentle bash with a rolling pin will suffice, or use a pestle and mortar.
3
Place all the spices in a dry-frying pan or skillet and heat over a very low heat, stirring constantly.
4
As soon as the aroma from the spices is released, remove the pan from the heat. (This step is essential to release the aromatic oils from the spices.).
5
Working with only a small quantity at a time, put the spices in an electric blender or coffee grinder and grind them to a fine powder. (Takes about 30 to 40 seconds per handful of spices).
6
Allow to cool. Store the Garam Masala in an air-tight container. As long as the container is tightly closed after each use, it should last for about 2 - 3 months with no adverse affects to the flavour and fragrance.
7
Use as directed in recipes that call for garam masala.
